Will Mike Tomlin Coach In 2026 Odds? Best Prediction Market Odds From Kalshi
With the 19-year former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin resigning on Tuesday, the question is: Will Mike Tomlin coach in 2026? Mike Tomlin has been a staple in Pittsburgh longer than any other coach in the NFL. He is also still under contract for another two years, as he resigned and was not fired.
I break down my expectations for Mike Tomlin in 2026, including whether he’s more likely to enter the television world or return to an NFL sideline.

| Cleveland Browns | 1% |
| Tennessee Titans | 1% |
The odds tell a pretty clear story about what the 2026 season may look like for Coach Tomlin. I think he’ll end up in the television booth, and contractually, it would be tough for him to join another team before the 2028 season.
📋 What's Mike Tomlin's contract situation?
NFL head coaching contracts are not fully public like players’ contracts, but we have pieced together enough reporting to get a good idea of what his current contract with the Steelers looks like. The only part of the contract we are 100% confident in is the length of the deal, which is fully public information.
The now-former head coach most recently signed an extension through the 2026 season and included a team option for the 2027 season. Because Tomlin was under contract through the 2026 season and was not fired, the Steelers retain his coaching rights. Any team seeking to hire him as head coach before the end of the 2027 season would need to acquire those rights in a trade with Pittsburgh.
Steelers owner Art Rooney III said Tomlin isn't expected to coach "in the near future", and Pittsburgh retains his rights.
🔮 Mike Tomlin prediction for 2026: Tomlin to leave coaching
There are only two options for Mike Tomlin in 2026: joining the television booth or taking the year off before returning to coaching once his contract with the Steelers expires.
I believe he will select the television route over taking the year off. There aren't any odds on if Mike Tomlin will join a television network, but if there were, I would be playing "yes" on that market.
